What moves the price
Five things that put a Herndon home above or below the median.
Buyers and appraisers price the finished space above grade first. A basement adds value, but at a lower rate.
A kitchen, baths and systems done in the last few years show up in the price. Original finishes usually sell below the median.
Backing to trees or a quiet street, versus a busy road or power lines, can move two houses of the same size well apart.
Two homes a street apart can go to different schools. Check yours on the school boundary finder.

Timing is a decision, not a coincidence. The right timing, the right price and the right condition make a smooth sale.Ahmed Makkiyah
